I think she is your Catherine, Peter's mother. There could be a number of reasons why he did not give an address - not to bring shame on his family, a temporary split from his wife.

Definitely, she is listed as such on the 1921 census with William & George,

Hubert, William and Leo are in an orphanage in Liverpool in 1939. Sadie/Sarah is in Bham at the Cox St West address with a John McHale. He remains there into the 1960s.

George may be an elder brother, reg. Sep 1920 Warrington.

They probably couldn't read or write so how their name was recorded would have been down to the official.

There is also a baptism for another brother - Joseph Patrick - 1871 Dublin parents listed as Joseph McKenna and Catherine Gourbin. Again not exact but close enough to be likely. A Joseph of about the right age is with Peter in 1891.

When Peter's other siblings Theresa and James marry their father is also listed as Joseph. On Peter's birth reg. his mmn is listed as Gamben and there is a birth reg. in Dublin for a McKenna daughter (no name) with parents Joseph McKenna and Catherine Gamben which is likely to be Theresa's...

It's correct on freebmd. The presence of the Masters nephew with them in 1921 almost certainly confirms the marriage.

Peter Mckenna appears to be mis-transcribed on Ancestry. He's on volume 6d page 29 and it should be page 269.

Edward appearing to be the son of Annie's brother John.

Is she not Annie Masters, marrying Peter in 1906/7 reg. Aston. There is a Edward Masters (nephew) with them in 1921.

I can go further if you want but if you'd rather look into yourself that's no problem.

A small diversion into your Irish ancestors. I see on your tree that you have Nora Davern's parents as Jermiah and Mary. They are Jeremiah Davern b1865 co. Tipperary, d1951 Cashel & Mary Quinn b1873 co. Tipperary, d1948 Cashel.

There are numerous records on familysearch for your wife's Occhetti and Palmarozzi ancestors. There is also a tree. 1910 census gives her Palmarozzi's grandfather's emigration date as 1890 and her (Pizzani) grandmother's as 1906, and her Occhietti grandfather's as 1901 and her (Trama)...

When the sun is out and in the right place the aerial shots can be surprisingly clear.

I think you may have mis-labelled Thimble Mill Lane as Long Acre.

Can't say with any certainty because that appears to be the only sighting of him. But people with more than one name didn't always use their first (my nan was Sarah Ann but no one called her Sarah) and foreign names do get anglicized. Also, he was a lodger so wouldn't have filled the census in...

Yes, that's right. The Peter on the 1911 census if he's who I think he is was listed as Vincenzo Pietro Donato on his birth record. There was an elder brother also called Pietro who died young.

As long as you know that there is some doubt then I don't see any problem. It can easily be changed if new evidence comes to light. Apologies if I'm going over old ground. Taking the relationship - cousin - between the other Giuseppe and Nicola listed on the 1911 census at face value then it...

There are gaps in the Italian records so it's difficult to say. Felice could have other siblings which don't show up yet. We know that some of the Iommis returned to Italy at times somaybe Giuseppe returned and died there. The Nicola (Nicholas) that lived with the other Giuseppe may be the son...
